Clinton Foundation Intern Listing Draws Criticism Over 'Discretion' and Unpaid Role
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 31
Summary
An unpaid internship in Hillary Clinton’s personal office and a paid Special Projects Associate role in Bill Clinton’s office triggered conservative backlash after both listings highlighted discretion.
The criticism centered on wording and structure: Hillary’s posting seeks a “high level of professionalism and discretion,” while Bill’s role mentions “using discretion in scheduling” and carries broader duties plus a bachelor’s-degree requirement.
Conservative commentators and GOP-linked staffers on X mocked the postings by invoking Bill Clinton’s 1998 Monica Lewinsky scandal, with several posts suggesting the intern language was politically tone-deaf.
The Clinton Foundation and Monica Lewinsky were asked for comment, underscoring how a routine hiring notice quickly revived scrutiny of one of the Clintons’ most enduring controversies.
